The first major rematch of 2006 will land before a packed crowd in the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Former champions Fernando “El Feroz” Vargas (26-3, 22Kos) and “Sugar” Shane Mosley (42-4, 36KOs) will once again collide in what many are still calling a crossroads fight.
The first fight, which took place on February 25, ended with its share of controversy. The bout was very close in terms of the judges’ scorecards and the action in the ring. After the end of the first round, Vargas’s left eye began to swell at a rapid pace. How or why the eye began to swell so quickly is still a mystery. Vargas claims that the injury to his eye was caused by a Mosley headbutt. While Vargas is sticking to his story, Mosley insists that the injury was sustained as a result of one of his punches.
"I'm thrilled to be fighting Fernando Vargas and once again proving that I'm the superior fighter," said Mosley. "To me, there was no controversy about our first fight because one look at his face showed who the winner was. I stopped him once, and I'll do it again." [details]
